[QUOTE="robertwhite, post: 991779, member: 15043"] I am going to put some seed down to try and alleviate the fact that Bermuda comes up so late, goes dormant real early and doesn't grow without lots of water. Local folks have said to go with a clover/fescue mix as rye is not a perennial. (plus I drilled in rye last fall) There is a fair amount of clover currently and I don't want it to take over. Other issue is the cows have never been on fescue and should I be concerned with fescue poisoning? Or do I go with a different mix altogether? Some of the pasture is wet (semi-standing water) from all the rain over the winter, but most is just normal soil for this time of year (SW TN). Am I better off broadcasting then dragging over it or drilling? I am a little worried that if I try to drill in the wet area, it will be set way too deep just from the weight of the machine, but on the other hand, I don't know how much germination to expect just by broadcasting and dragging. Thoughts? [/QUOTE]
